- This had me going for *ages*. I got a multisync, and it needed a VGA adaptor to
- work. I tried making them, but I'm crap at soldering and I kept getting rotten
- signals. So i bought one that worked fine. I opened it up and lo and behold
- there was nothing in there at all, no logic, capacitors or anything.

- If you need to make one with logic, but haven't got any breadboard, you could
- always superglue the chip to the cable, loop the wires back and solder. When
- you've done wrap it in tape. Bingo, and it's much smaller too.
